You've no idea how frightened the reactionaries areIt's the last-ditch fight for them
And there was more in the same tenorHearn finished the letter and shruggedBailey had always been an optimistA sound Marxian optimist
Only that was all bullshitThere would be the witch-hunt after the war all right, but it would hardly be a frightened witch-huntWhat was it Cummings had said? America's energy had become kinetic and it would not be reversedCummings wasn't frightened, not in that senseThe terrifying thing in listening to him was his calm and unshakable certaintyThe Right was ready for a struggle, but without anxiety this time, with no absorbed and stricken ear listening to the inevitable footstep of historyThis time they were the optimists, this time they were on the offensiveThere was the thing Cummings had never said, but it was implied tacitly |
